Monday

So last week was kind of weak. I only did my jump rope workout once, i played basketball twice, and ran 4 miles. Saturday and Sunday I did a biggest loser tv workout. So I was pretty active, but didn't run as much as I would have liked. I want to make sure this week I run more.

Today I did my jump rope workout, 6 sets of:

jump rope 100
push ups 10
Jmp jacks 40
squats 15

I did 3 more sets of jump rope. Then I did 75 crunches. I weigh in next Monday, my goal is to be between 192 - 195lbs. I will let you k now where I'm at by then. Tomorrow is a run day for me.

good night,
Chuck

Friday Night

Quick post here: Instead of doing my jump rope, jacks, and push up workout tonight. I found a free workout On Demand. It was a Biggest Loser workout, the well known trainer Bob lead it.
It was a pretty good workout. Afterwards I was sweating pretty good. Right after the workout I did 30 push ups and 60 crunches.

looking forward to a run tomorrow.

Friday Fall day

Today I played basketball during lunch. I think I fell down at least three times. One time somebody hit me right in the face and knocked my glasses off. Another time I fell on my left side. CLUMSY ALERT!

Oh well, I still got a pretty decent workout. Tonight I'm still going to do my jump rope, jacks, and push up workout with squats.

Tomorrow I'm going to go on a run, hoping for longer than 4 miles.

thanks,
Charles

One of my best runs so far

I just finished a 4.02 mile run. Yes I have to put the .02 in there. It rained and it was pretty windy during the run. I have been pretty hesitant to run in the rain. But told myself today I was going to commit to running no matter what. I took a different route today and it worked out great. Until I was passed the halfway point. I looked up ahead and saw what seemed to be a pretty big hill. This was my first experience with a decent sized hill. I was a little nervous. Once I got to the hill it definitely was harder to keep my pace. I knew I was going to feel it in my calves later on. And I do. I kept on going, I think I walked about 10 steps the whole time and only stopped at cross walks. This was one of my best runs because its one of the longest that I have done in the recent months. And because I was able to finish it with the uncomfortable weather. I'm more confident that I can handle the rain wind and cold on future runs.

Bad basketball

I played basketball for lunch. I played 5 full court games. I think my team won 1 single game! I was getting frustrated... Oh well I got a pretty good workout in. Tomorrow is a run day for me. It will be my first run of the week. Hoping to get in at least 3 miles tomorrow.

See Ya,
Chuck

Wednesday already...

I have had a slow start to this week. I was supposed to do my jump rope workout Monday night. I didn't. I was supposed to run yesterday but I couldn't. So last night I did my jump rope, jacks, push up workout.

4 sets of jump rope: 80
5 sets of jump rope: 100

6 sets of jacks: 40
6 sets of push ups: 10
6 sets of squats: 10

It was a pretty good workout. My legs are a little tight this morning, but they feel good. Today I will run or play basketball depending on how the day goes. I'm prepared to do one or the other.
I will turn this week around and get some miles in. Still not sure how much I weigh. I was really struggling with wanting to weigh myself last night. Funny how I'm struggling to break this "game rule". Although its not a life or death situation, I still refrained from weighing myself. I will find out on 11/16/09 how much I weigh.

Jump rope, jacks, push ups, squats

Hey hey hey,

So I was supposed to run today. But we were so busy for Halloween. We had a good day trick or treating with my 2 year old son. I didn't run, but tonight I did my jumping jack flash workout.
Here is what I did, 5 sets of:

jump rope: 100
j jacks: 40
push ups: 50
squats: 12

Then I did at least 3 more sets of jump rope after this. This week has been good. I'm disappointed that I didn't get my run in today. I'm one run short for this week. I'm thinking about forgetting about my rest day tomorrow and running in the morning. This so far I played basketball twice, did my jumping jack flash workout twice and ran twice for 6.63 miles.

Overall I'm happy with this week. Looking forward to another good week.

Oh and I have been wanting to incorporate some weight lifting into my workouts. I don't have a gym membership right now. Hoping to join 24hour fitness, there is a nice one very close to our house. We will see how this goes.

So 2 weeks down, 5 more to go till the end of our competition. I still have no idea how much i weigh. I keep on passing my scale and desperately want to know how much I weigh. But sticking to the rules.
